Tippmann Sports SL-68IIThins thing can not break! I love how sturdy it is. If there was a little more room for mods. Since this is a remake of an older marker I can't really hold this against them.

Tippmann Sports SL-68IIThis is probably the best pump gun to start out with. It takes a beating, is reliable, and keeps on shooting like any tippmann marker does.

I bought my SL-68II new in 1992. It's seen fairly steady field use since then, requiring nothing more than a replaced mainspring and a new cup seal. These guns are just incredibly tough, working under any conditions. I've used mine in heat, cold, rain, snow, swamps, speedball, scenario, you name it.
The appearance of the gun is pretty much "this is it, love it or leave it". A cast body of aluminum/magnesium alloy, it doesn't lend itself to being customizable, other than paint or powder coat. I had mine bead-blasted before "custom" finishes were cool.
Performance is good for a pump. The gun is very efficient, and accuracy with the stock barrel is acceptable. Aftermarket barrels are hard to find now, coming down to either old inventory, modified barrels, or custom builds.
Reliablility - none better. Even if the mainspring is compressed by age and use, you'll still be able to use the gun. The anti-double feed feature on the pump helps ensure you don't pump the gun twice when aired.
The SL-68II's value is good, I think. Although I paid $250 for mine, that was a LONG time ago, and these were fairly fresh to the market. Today, they can be found used for $50-$75, and that gets a pump second to none for reliability. Not a bad way for someone to break into pump play.

I bought my SL68II from a friend in 1999, he had owned it for 7 years prior to that. Mine has a 16" All American barrel, which is a huge improvement over the loud and inaccurate stock barrel. When shot side by side it was obvious that the AA barrel could hit targets accurately from 15-20 feet further away than the stock one as well. Anyway, I learned the sport of paintball on this gun for 2 years playing outlaw woodsball games against 98s and Spyders.
Despite the fact it isn't working well these days I still have it for sentimental reasons, I played with it recently at a local field and no one had ever seen it before. One guy came up to me and said "You're either really good, or really stupid," I ended up getting 8 people with that gun on that particular day, even played one game of speedball which got some laughs
Downsides - The adapter for the hopper can't be found anywhere these days, so you either have to make your own or hope you never lose it. Well, I guess that could be said of anything to do with this gun because its "old school" now.

The SL-68II brings back memories of playing woodsball during the 90s with my friends. A nice little pump marker that was light, extremely durable, and always worked. When my other markers wouldn't work ~ my SL68II was always there to play with.
It was always a little louder than other pump markers, but not the loudest. I'd so love to find another one just to have for the great memories of playing paintball during high school and college.

Oddly, when I purchased this SL68II it did not have a safety on the body like most other SL68II's so I was sort of curious if mine was an earlier version. One thing that got me was the cup seal, went through 2 two of those guys because of bad leaks.

i have an sl68 ii and it is a very nice marker i paid $2 for it at a garage sale
and i had to get it fixed because it would'nt cock properly and it would'nt shoot.
i got it fixed at a paintball park in grant florida, the park is called hog wild
the sl68 is good for all scenarios and shoots strait you can mount a bb gun scope on the sights, you can also change the barrel its silent easy to maintain, mod, and is very accurate when i first used it i got laughed at ........
but it stop when i creamed a lot of full auto-electro owners

i played rec all day yesterday with one of these and it was amazing. it shoots really straight and i didn't break a ball all day long. the only con was that it was pretty inconsistent, it was shooting +/- 7-10 fps. and every now and then i would have a ball go about 10 feet then drop, but that could have been the paint. the gun i used was my friends and i liked it so much i am for sure going to buy one. i would recommend this gun to anyone who wants to get into pump.

Let me first start by saying that I am a huge fan of this marker. So, here is my honest attempt at an unbiased review. When I first played with this marker I was new to total pump play and trying to improve my game by focusing on strategy and movement, and largely I was broke, so I decided pump play was the way to go. When this marker arrived I was highly excited to hold it, and even more anxious to play. When first I picked it up, I couldnt help but notice that it is on the heavy side for a marker as it has a solid frame, very solid in fact. Also, the coating on it is very nice, and durable, no chips or scratches yet, and it has been roughly two years of play since. Now that I have told you how it looks, its time to focus on how it played when game time came. Me being new to pump play, I hadnt acquired the knowledge that you have to stroke the marker with some authority, and so it seemed to not wish to fire, but once it was pointed out to me that all I needed to do was stroke the pump a little harder on the back stroke, it was all uphill from there. The chronograph showed me that once an hpa tank is attached to this gun, she is rock steady in terms of velocity. I literally chronoed the exact same number three times in a row, and only noticed +/- 5 fps at most. I was kinda eyeballing the reviews on here before purchasing it, and so I followed the advice of numerous people and ditched the stock barrel for a jnj ceramics 12 inch barrel. Being honest this thing is accurate as hell when you use hpa, I can honestly say I had no trouble shooting people while running, making long range lobs, or simply snap shooting it. Some of that is due to her shape. With this things tank acting as a stock, there is a crude front sight on the pump arm, and a rail like pair of rear sights to make a sight index with. My only gripe about using the sights on this marker is that you cant really use them with out pushing the front sight to one side or the other because the pump arm has some sway to it, as it only has one single point of contact really with the reciever, and that is by way of a rod below the barrel. It is a breeze to clean as one nut removed from the front really allows you to pull the bits out of her and give them a thorough cleaning. Truthfully, this marker has one seal in it, and has a lifetime warranty. If you can look past the weight, learn the technique of rough stroking the pump, and use hpa, she actually holds her own with phantoms, and other high end pumps. I would have given her a perfect score if not for her performance with co2, and the difficulty I had keeping balls from rolling out the end of the barrel. I have since read a sticky on the forums here and rectified this with the electrical tape rememedy, and she is still pumping happily away to this day, and accurately no less. So, my personal opinion is buy it, and reap the field!
when i first used it i got laughed at ........
